Latest – new kits to gift or to master a new skill
Spring appears to have sprung and the grey days appear to be behind us. With thoughts of new growth as we see crocuses poking through and daffodils decorating our green and pleasant land, a lap full of beautiful pure wool may not be ideal and so maybe it’s time to turn you hand to a new and portable skill.
Crochet has been very big news for a long time now but it still frightens the pants off many a knitter who consider it way more challenging than the craft they’re comfortable with. All my protestations of “Absolutely not, it’s easier” are seldom believed. In nearly 12 years of owning the shop I’ve taught dozens and dozens of people to crochet in a single hour and a half lesson, so I decided to put my money where my mouth is and streamline the process in the form of a kit.
Launched very recently and already getting rave reviews on my Facebook page, I explain the mechanics of what is a simple craft in it’s basic form and, with the help of a detailed pattern with both written instructions and charts and many videos to accompany, I’m very confident that all who choose to take a leap of faith will be confident crocheters in two shakes of a lamb’s tail!
And so our beloved knitting doesn’t feel left out, following the huge success of our 5 star rated Beginner’s 4ply Sock Kit, I’ve made a dk version for when a chunkier sock is what fits the bill. With the same detailed instructions and video guides, it walks you through in exactly the same way (just with a thicker and quicker result).
